I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

When Magistrate Tian saw Tian Xiao's worried look, he quickly said,

"Don't worry, the rebels should enter the city at the same time as you do."

"Just now when the rebels were chasing me, I shouted, 'General Tian, ​​bring 100,000 troops to rescue me! ' After I shouted, the rebels didn't dare to chase me anymore."

"I guess the number of rebels should be about 20,000 to 30,000. We can take advantage of the rebels' lack of reaction and attack them directly, catching them off guard!"

As Magistrate Tian spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, his eyes full of murderous intent.

These are all military achievements, how can he not be excited.

When Tian Xiao heard this, he felt a little relieved.

The rebels had just entered the city, and their situation should be the same as theirs. The soldiers were thirsty, tired and hungry.

"Have you found out clearly? There are only 30,000 rebels?" Wei Jianxiong, who had stretched his neck to listen for a long time, rode forward and stared at Prefect Tian and asked.

If the enemy had more than 30,000 men, the responsibility for the defeat would have been borne by Prefect Tian.

"...Uh!" Magistrate Tian blinked twice, feeling a little undecided.

"Anyway, after I shouted that, I scared the rebels away."

"Besides, the rebels are all crowded in the street like us, so it's hard to tell how many there are."

"This is the current situation. You can go and see what the situation is."

Prefect Tian looked at Wei Jianxiong with dissatisfaction. He actually wanted to set a trap for him. What a wishful thinking.

He has been the prefect for so many years in vain, and it is not his job to spy on the enemy.

Wei Jianxiong saw that Magistrate Tian didn't take the bait, so he smiled faintly.

"Shall we send a spy to investigate ahead?"

Tian Xiao nodded and waved to the spies, "Go and investigate quickly."

Several figures quickly rushed out from the army.

Those who can be spies have no problem with physical strength. Even though the soldiers have been hungry all the way and can hardly lift their feet, the spies can still run.

Prefect Tian looked at the spy running away and immediately turned to look at Tian Xiao.

"We have to use crossbowmen while the rebels are still unprepared. If we encounter any rebels on the street, we can just shoot them."

He had done something meritorious by letting the army know about the rebels' situation in advance, allowing them to make preparations in advance and reducing casualties. He had to give himself a credit and submit it when it came time to award merits.

Tian Xiao thought for a moment, then looked back at the tired army.

"Crossbowmen, step out!"

With a swish, 2000 crossbowmen immediately stood up straight and collectively moved forward a few steps.

"Get on your horses!" Tian Xiao glanced at the crossbowmen and then at the thousands of cavalrymen following closely behind him.

The cavalrymen looked at each other and jumped off their horses one after another.

All the crossbowmen were mounted on horses.

"Your team will lead the charge, and your team will follow closely behind, ready to replace them at any time..."

Tian Xiao quickly deployed 2000 crossbowmen, and Qing waited for the rebels to come to him and be shot.

"General Tian." Wei Jianxiong was stunned when he saw Tian Xiao arranged the personnel and did not move.

"We're not going to keep going!?"

Waiting here, why did he feel like he was waiting to die?

Are they waiting for the rebels to get ready so they can surround and destroy them?

Prefect Tian was also extremely anxious. What was the point of waiting like this?

"We have to take the initiative to attack, otherwise how can we defeat the rebels who are well prepared?"

Tian Xiao turned his head and glared at Prefect Tian.

"If you hadn't exposed our whereabouts by shouting, would this general have to wait here?!"

"You could have lured the rebels here without making any noise, and we could have directly surrounded and wiped out the rebels."

"But when you shouted, you scared away the rebels, and at the same time, you also made them prepared."

"Can this general lead his soldiers to die like this?"

"I...I..." Prefect Tian was so annoyed by Tian Xiao that he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

The situation was so urgent at that time. If he hadn't shouted that time, he would be a corpse now.

Wei Jianxiong smiled awkwardly. He didn’t think that much.

He thought Tian Xiao was scared. After all, Tian Xiao was right behind Ma Ximing, but he didn't dare to catch up.

At the critical moment, Tian Xiao was a coward who was afraid of death.

The cowardly Tian Xiao looked at Prefect Tian and Wei Jianxiong who were kept silent by him, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew nothing about the rebels and met them in a narrow road in the city. How could he not be afraid?

While the three were silent, the spy came back in a hurry.

"Report!"

"The rebels are heading towards the South Gate, about 20 miles from here."

"The rebels blocking the streets are all cavalry, no archers."
